Ceria supported ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru-0/CeO2) are synthesized by impregnation of Ru3+ ions on CeO2 powders followed by sodium borohydride reduction of Ru3+/CeO2. Their characterization was achieved using analytical methods including TEM, XRD, BET, SEM, and XPS. All the results reveal the formation of ruthenium(0) nanoparticles in 1.8 +/- 0.3 nm size on CeO2 support. Ru-0/GeO2 nanoparticles show high activity in catalyzing the H-2 evolution from dimethylamine borane (DMAB). Ru-0/CeO2 nanoparticles with 0.55% wt Ru provide the highest turnover frequency (812 h(-1)) for releasing H-2 from DMAB at 60 degrees C and a total of 2500 turnovers before deactivation. High activity of Ru-0/CeO2 nanoparticles for catalytic dehydrogenation of DMAB is attributable to the reducible nature of CeO2 support. Ce3+ defects formation in ceria under reducing conditions of dehydrogenation causes accumulation of negative charge on the oxide support, which makes oxide surface attractive for the ruthenium(0) nanoparticles. This, in turn, causes an enhancement in the metal-support interaction and thus in catalytic activity. The XPS analysis of bare ceria and Ru-0/CeO2 demonstrates the increase in the concentration of Ce3+ defects after catalysis. Ru-0/CeO2 nanoparticles are also reusable catalyst for H-2 evolution from DMAB retaining 40% of initial activity after 4th run of reaction. The catalytic activity of Ru-0/CeO2 nanoparticles and activation energy of catalytic dehydrogenation are compared with those of the other ruthenium based catalysts known in literature.

Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite nanospheres and further stabilized by dihydrogen phosphate ion: A highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane Ozhava, Derya; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2015-09-07) Rhodium(0) nanoparticles, supported on nanosized hydroxyapatite (Rh(0)/nanoHAP), were prepared by ion exchange of Rh+3 ions with Ca+2 ions of hydroxyapatite, followed by reduction of the resulting Rh+3/nanoHAP precatalyst during the catalytic methanolysis of ammonia borane (AB) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen phosphate (TBAP) at room temperature. Rh(0)/nanoHAP were characterized by a combination of advance analytical techniques including ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, EDX, XPS, ATR-IR and N-2 adsorptio...
Hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride by using water dispersible, hydrogenphosphate-stabilized nickel(0) nanoclusters as catalyst Metin, Oender; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2007-08-01) Water-dispersible nickel(0) nanoclusters are prepared from the reduction of nickel(II) acetylacetonate by sodium borchydride in aqueous solution and stabilized by hydrogerphosphate anion. Hydrogenphosphate-stabilized nickel(0) nanoclusters were characterized by using XPS, FT-IR, UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopic methods. As the first example of water-dispersible nickel(0) nanoclusters, they were employed as catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Hydrogenphosphate-stabilized nickel(0) nanoclusters were...
Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles: Highly active and cost effective catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane Sencanli, Selin; Karahan, Senem; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-13) When hydrazine borane is added to the solution of nickel(II) chloride and poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid), PSSMA, both reduction of nickel(II) ions to nickel(0) nanoparticles and hydrogen release from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane occur concomitantly at room temperature. Using the hydrogen evolution from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane as reporter reaction provides valuable insights to the formation kinetics of nickel(0) nanoparticles. Nickel(0) nanoparticles are in situ formed from the ...
